After sticking up a New Orleans gambling den for $100,000, Joan finds that everything is going black. She heads for the eye clinic of a Hoosier Dr. Kildare (Dennis Morgan). While he is simultaneously stitching together Joan's optical nerves and surrendering his heart, her gun pals are killing cops, slugging each other and fretting about what Joan's up to. Gangster Brian, who seems to regard her with a proprietary eye, decides to go gunning for Surgeon Morgan. He comes to his destined end by crashing through the glass canopy of an operating room after being...
...three doctors worked in a special clinic set up at Bellevue Hospital. They took their time-unlike many of the doctors who had diagnosed the patients originally. Among 631 cases, 175 (or 28%) were found to have no heart disease at all. (All but 19 had been told that they had; the 19 had misdiagnosed themselves.) The biggest group of wrong diagnoses (38) had been made by draft doctors at induction centers, but private and school physicians, hospital clinics, insurance examiners and industrial physicians all contributed to the total of bad guesses...
...plain, red brick clinic, called the "Jimmy Fund Building," was opened at Children's Hospital in Boston last week, and the first patients trooped in for examinations and checkups. All were boys & girls for whom, until about five years ago, medical science could offer little or no comfort. They were victims of generalized cancers such as leukemia (in the blood stream) or the spreading type of Hodgkin's disease (in the lymph nodes). Now there is at least good reason for hoping that their lives can be made both brighter and longer...
Back on the Farm. "Jimmy," for whom the clinic and research building was named, is a New England farm boy. When he first saw Dr. Farber, the diagnosis was dismal: lymph-node cancer. Previous results with nitrogen mustard had been spotty, so Jimmy got three (out of the seven) folic acid antagonists. Today he is back doing chores on the family farm and feeling fine. His cancer shows no sign of activity...
...Memorial Clinic. To serve his 5,000 patients scattered over an area 25 by 75 miles, Dr. Starke gets around in a Plymouth. His wife, mother of three (including boys at West Virginia and North Carolina State), enjoys the only family luxury; she drives a Cadillac. Dr. Starke's two-story clinic was laid out to fit his busy practice. The 40-seat waiting room is bigger than the doctor's office and examination rooms combined, though he has found space for almost $14,000 worth of Xray, hydrotherapy, physiotherapy and other specialized equipment...
